OK, I'll look into getting it on Win2K.  1.9.4 did indeed run
out-of-the-box on my WinXP machine.

Thanks for the kind words.  The library demo is runnable - just check
out HEAD (rev. 193), cd to the working copy, and say:

	$ set RUBYLIB=lib
	$ ruby bin/zyps_demo

...or the equivalents for your OS.  You'll be gratified to know I'm
getting far better framerates from wxRuby than I was with Ruby-Gnome2.
